Today, my good internet-peoples, was my final trial of media-free week.
If this week were a video game, today would be the final boss, the giant fire-breathing turtle that I had to throw off of its platform, the dragon I needed to slay.
If this week were a TV show, it would be the season finale, the climax, right before all is made right with the world once again. Ted Mosby's on a rooftop, and he has ten more minutes in the episode to make it rain.
Ok, so maybe I'm being a little bit melodramatic here.
Today, our school had a two-hour lunch break, with a movie in the library, and video games in The Caf, meaning it was virtually impossible to go today without being subject to media. In fact, at least one of the other people doing media free week allegedly cracked, and spent their lunch playing video games. Luckily, despite this downright devious deluge of disaster, I managed to secure the seminar room for those two hours, and spent that whole period playing board games with my friends and colleagues. However, I still had to suffer through the hour-long spare I had immediately afterwards. Thankfully, I managed to stay sane that period, despite rather blatant media consumption on the part of my colleagues and peers. From here on out, I've got a somewhat dreary Friday afternoon, a Dungeons and Dragons day tomorrow, and a day with my sweetheart the day after.
It's all going to be smooth sailing from here on out.
I'll admit though, of the times that I've gone on this laptop to blog, this may be the first time that I've been tempted to open up a new tab, go on Reddit, and break my promise to myself. But, I will stay strong. I will not fail this test of mind and spirit. In fact, I owe it to myself to see this all the way through! I will power through the next two days, and then, on Monday, I will read my webcomics, watch my Ponies, and all will be right with the world.
Ok, now I know that that was too melodramatic.
